studying informational text unit test \white bias in genetic research may hurt health\ by vicky stein heavily biased genetic databases could—and do—lead scientists and doctors to diagnose conditions or prescribe treatments that might be relevant to people with european genes, but not for people from other racial backgrounds. use the claim to answer the question. which statements from the \genetic research has a white bias, and it may be hurting everyones health\ article represent reasons that directly support the authors claim? (1 point) select the two correct answers. \modern humans originated on the continent of africa more than 300,000 years ago, and subsequent generations migrated across the land, with groups intermarrying or splitting apart.\ \the lack of genetic diversity is a social injustice and a missed scientific opportunity,\ said esteban burchard, who is a physician and epidemiologist at the university of california, san francisco, and was not involved in the new paper. \any two humans in the world share about 99.9 percent of their dna with one another.\ \it wont include ethnically diverse populations, were potentially going to be exacerbating health inequalities,\ said sarah tishkoff, study co - author and a human geneticist at the university of pennsylvania. \and health treatments that dont take the variations of genetically diverse populations into account can cause problems.\
The article discusses how biased genetic databases (lacking diversity) can lead to issues in diagnosis and treatment for non - European populations. The statement about health treatments not accounting for genetic variations in diverse populations and the one about exacerbating health inequalities due to lack of diversity in studies directly support the claim of white bias in genetic research.
